Creating NEW by using OLD!

Today during STEM Time at the high school, a small group of creative and willing first and second graders rolled up their sleeves and looked at  recyclable  items in a different way  After making a plan and discussing ideas with their partners, they created a new use for many items that we would recycle or throw away.   They taped. glued, poked holes, and fastened items together with pipe cleaners to invent creations that will be on display after next week.   Mr. Mink and I are proud of all the students for thinking "out of the box" and taking a risk with their learning!
